Michael Moore movie will only have an impact if UNDECIDEDs see it.

If you participate in a message board about music or sports or a hobby, please start a thread including the phrase "Off Topic" in the title there with this link to the movie trailer:

If you have friends who are UNDECIDEDs, try to get them to go to the movie with you after it opens on June 25, 2004.

1. Thanks for the link

Michael Moore's site got bombed. We need gift certificates that are good ONLY for viewing Fahrenheit 9/11. We can make LOT sof gifts to undecidededs this way.

2. Moore's site...

The trailer on Moore's site is working againt, FWIW.

Good to have a backup, though.

3. news will talk it, pieces will leak out

stories will be told. it wont just be going to see the movie. it will be the buzz talk for a while

5. yes, but people who pay attention to the news already know about

Yes, but people who pay attention to the news already know about most of the events in the movie, and people who don't still won't after the movie is discussed on a cable news show.

I don't think anyone who doesn't actually go to the movie will be swayed by it.

4. The film will only have an impact if it is good and gets word-of-mouth.

7. spreading the link around the internet will help bring enough

Spreading the link around the internet will help bring in enough people the first weekend that there can be word-of-mouth.

6. Absolutely correct! Preaching to the choir won't make a difference

That's why I'm suggesting to people to share copies of "Uncovered" with fencesitters, and Gore's speech, the same way.

Those were helpful for raising our spirits, but won't change anything UNLESS WE GET IT OUT TO THOSE WHO NEED to see it.

Thanks for the reminder!

8. True True True. Because of the Palm d'Or, maybe they will.

9. it needs to be put out on the

filesharing network after the dvd comes out-duh- it will be..i think the best thing about it is that the right-wing will go fucking crazy and maybe the undecided will take a look to see what the right is screaming about..the rest of us should just go about our "converting" people calmly and rationally-that`s what moves the center...my wife has got three of her crew to vote for kerry just by pointing out the facts....

10. A good point

There is no use in preaching to the choir about this, it needs to reach those who aren't whacko liberals who visit political message boards.

11. Drop the word "whacko' and I'd agree (nt)

12. The controversy will drive the curious to see the movie

just as it drew lots and lots of people who wouldn't have otherwise seen The Passion of The Christ..

[Beloved Citizen]

13. I disagree

Some of the topics he airs out in the film will be discussed in the press. If the bin Laden family airlift alone makes it into public discourse, we've won something important.

16. People who watch news talks shows have mostly decided. We need

People who watch news talks shows have mostly decided.

We need to persuade the vast majority of Amercans who don't watch news talk shows to see this movie.

14. The trailer is amazing...

It is getting released nationally.... it will deal Bush great damage. Bush is done for as it is. This is just an extra nail in his coffin, to make sure this evil family never rises again.

[wyldwolf]

15. Let's see if we can get Bush to declare July 4th as...

National "take an undecided friend to see Fahrenheit 911" Day.

What do you think?

Seriously - we should all strive to bribe undecideds into seeing the movie by buying a ticket or two.
